Well done to the children from Key Stage 2 who participated in the Cross Country Competition at Wimpole Estate.
Year 5 and 6 carefully decorated real gingerbread with Kelly from Kelly’s Kitchen. They also decorated Christmas decorations to be hung on one of the Christmas trees in Wimpole Hall. The children have been given complementary tickets to visit Wimpole Hall this weekend and see their decorations. Look out for more photos!
We were very excited to unveil our new bench. 3 years ago, the school was involved in a project with Burlington Press, who came into school to run a workshop with Year 5 and 6 children. The workshop involved designing benches and tables for use at the Burlington Press site. There were many excellent designs and the company made some into actual benches and a table. One of the benches was donated to school and we think it looks amazing!

This week, Owl class had a WOW Day to learn more about the Maya and their culture. As part of this experience, a visitor came in and helped us to design and then make our own chocolate product. We also tasted a range of chocolates, including the nibs of the bean used in the same way as the Ancient Maya.




Owl Class have tidied and weeded the garden area, with help from Paul Daines. They then picked a few of our carrots!

Owl class advertised, baked and held a cake sale to raise funds for a visitor for their Mayan WOW day. She will be coming into class in October to run a chocolate-based workshop where the children will be learning about the history of chocolate, tasting different chocolate types and creating their own chocolate brand.

Badger class enjoyed exploring which objects in the classroom were magnetic.
